Paris Hilton loves the Philippines!
Celebrity socialite Paris Hilton signs autographs in the financial district of Manila on Aug. 17, 2011.
Paris loves the Philippines and she isn't shy about saying so.
The hotel heiress, who is in town to promote her latest business endeavor — the Paris Beach Club at The Azure resort in Parañaque — has been gushing about the country since she got there late on Sunday.
She has taken to Twitter time and again to say that she "Loves it :)" about everything from the food to the designers to Manny Pacquiao and his wife.
On Tuesday, she dined with boxing icon and congressman Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee. Paris ate a steak and received many gifts, which she loved.
“We gave her Team Pacquiao shirts, Chanel makeup and lipsticks, and Manny Pacquiao figurines,” Jinkee told local media.
Something else Paris loves about the Philippines? Her fans.

“You’re amazing,” Dinio told Hilton.
“No, you’re amazing,” the international celebrity replied.
